This is my paisley fabric I'm intending to use this month, I have a few strips approx 10" x 30". It is polyester and has a slight stretch to it.

This is what I'm attempting to make - GLOVES

I struggle to knit gloves and don't like how bulky crochet ones turn out so I thought I would try sewing a pair. I bought the pattern originally for the hats and I am psyching myself up to make the gloves. I don't know why I am so daunted by the prospect, its not like I lose anything but time if they don't work out

I'm making the first pair unlined, I don't want to cause myself more trouble than I need The difficult part (I think) will be sewing the gussets between the fingers although since I started making dolls I'm better at those tight turns and narrow margins

Kookaloo - For some reason, it would have never occurred to me to sew gloves, but what a fun project to try - and like you said - if they don't turn out, you lost some time and a small bit of fabric, thats it
